Session Report 016: In Which Egor's Old Clan Makes a Fell Pact With Blood Rites
Wherein Exposition Occurs
Walking around the outer edges of the White Forest, Egor reflects on his past and all he has accomplished with his new Tribe. The wind brings warmth from the northern plains and a famaliar scent: fresh blood. A haggard merchant retreating from the area speaks of an alliance between abarbarian tribe and an expeditionary force from Morgau. Meeting at the Bleeding Crow Tavern, the heroes speak the village elders and are offered the entirety of the tower's coffers: 2,000gp in gems. They learn the following:- Sister Alkava is a Red Sister, a priestess of Marena, the Red Goddess.
- The priestess came to the village a few months ago and immediately began her work to renovate the old Sanguine Shrine and turn it into the Blood Vaults.
- The villagers suspect that Sister Alkava is a necromancer, due to the supplies she has commandeered from the village in the months she’s been working in the old shrine.
- The village has faithfully provided blood tributes in the past, but this is the first time their loved ones never returned after making their offerings.
- A second tribute was ordered by Sister Alkava. Another dozen young men and women have been escorted to the Blood Vaults—perhaps also never to return
